Application filed February 14, 1917. 7 Serial No. 148,505.

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J osnrn B. LISISKE, a citizen of United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Foot- Warmers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptor and so secured thereto that the heat will.

tion of the invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make' and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in foot warmers.

The object of this invention is the provision of a foot warmer especially adapted to be arranged on a standard make of radia- ,the floor or anywhere about the length of the radiator and is provided with a door which may be lifted so as to permit access .to the interior of the casin so that the feet may be placed therein and ept warm.

A still further object of this invention is the provision of a casing which can be used ass-foot warmer or if desired may be used asan oven in a sick room to keep things warm and can be used at any time to warm anything that will go intothe casing.

A. stillfurther object of this invention'is the provision of afoot warmer of this character, which will be simple, durable and efiicient, and which may be manufactured and sold 'at a comparatively low cost. these and other objects in view the invention consists of the novel combination and arrangement of parts as will be herein: after more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings:

Fig. 6 is a detail view of the invention,

Fig. 7 is a sectional view of the modified form of the invention, and

of the modified form Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a supporting plate used in connection with the modified form of this invention.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

Referring more particularly to, the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a casing in its entirety and this casing constitutesxa foot warmer and it compr ses in its construction the top wall 2, s1de walls 3, which side walls have formed on their lower longitudinal edges at a spaced distanceapart the forwardly inclined supporting legs 4, which legs are arran ed in pairs and each-pair formed integra 1y with the lower longitudi-- nal edges of the sides 3 and inclined forwardly as clearly shown in Fig. 1 of the draw ngs.

A forwardly inclined front wall 5 is formed integrally with the forward longitudinal side edge of the top wall 2 and has i a depending front portion 6, which is formed integrally with the forward vertical edges of the s1de wall 3 and'is rovided on its lower longitudinally extend door 8, which closes he forward front portion of the casing 1.

The rear of the casing is left fully open and the, top wall 2 terminates short. of t e end with suitable openings 12, which permit the interior of the casingl to be ventilated w thin the casing. to escape therefrom.

. ing edge with hinges 7 to WhlChhingedly secured th A bottom plate 13 isrmovably secured walls 3 and is,

provided with an open air space 14 which forms the bottom wall 13 into sections 15, which are arranged at a spaced distance apart as shown in F ig. 3 of the drawings.

The bottom plate 13 comprising the sections 15 is provided with a plurality of spaced perforations 16, the purpose of which will be hereinafter more fully described.

A plurality of blades 17 comprising the substantially triangular shaped body portions 18, which body portions have their extreme rear edges reduced as at 19 and provided with a longitudinally extending slot 20,- and the blades are removably secured between the sections 15 of the bottom wall 13, as at 21 with their apex es extending rearwardly. p

The body portions 18 are secured between the walls 2 and 10 of the casing 1, have extended from their apexes semicir'cular portions 22 and the bases of these members are lemovably secured between the top wall 2 and partition wall 10 at a spaced distance apart.

The blades have their apexes arran e between the tubes or sections of the radiator and due to their movableconnections with the bottom Wall and top Wall, they may be adjusted to fit various sized tubes of rediators so as to readily position the casing to the radiator, as clearly illustrated in the figures of the drawings.-

The forward front longitudinal edge of the bottom wall 13 has a semi-circular curved depending flange 23 formed thereon, which flange is adapted to receive the heel portion of a shoe when the door is in an opened position, thus positioning the forward part of the foot within the casing 1 when the same is positioned upon the tubes of the radiator.

The door 8 has secured to its front face a knob 24:, which facilitates the moving of the door on its hinges 7. The knob 24 may be ranged under a spring 25, formed integrally with the inclined portion 5 of the top wall, thus. holding the door in an opened position to permit the same to be used as the foot warmer. i

The side walls 3 have formed integrally therewith, the laterally extending brackets 26, which brackets-may be formed on the interior or exterior as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.

Supporting rods 27 have one of their ends screw-threaded as at 28 and are adapted to extend through the ears 26 or brackets 35 and secured therein by the nuts 29, the free ends of the rods extend rearwardly beyond the rear vertical ends of the side walls and terminate into hooks 30, 'which are adapted to be secured behind the tubes of the radiator as at 31, thus securely positioning the casing to the front side of a' radiator and in any desired position thereon.

.on the radiator,

m sa

on the rods and abuts the heads and is positioned behind the rear sides of the radiator tubes 34, thus supporting the casing 1 in position as clearly shown in Fig. 2. r

A pair of substantially inverted V-sha-ped brackets 35 are secured to the bottom sec- .tion 15 of the foot warming plate 13 and arranged at a spaced distance apart and have ,extending therethrough the rods 36,

which are secured therein by nuts 37 the free ends of the rods extending rearwardly beyond the ends of the plates 18 and have their ends terminating into hooks 37 or may have heads and secured to the plate 33 as illustrated in F ig. 2 of the drawings, thus rigidly supporting the casing to the tubes of aradiator in various positions.

. The spacing of the top wall 2 by providing the partition wall 10 and the bottom be ing in sections l 5 provides an air space.

through which the heat passes and heats the air forcing the same into the casing 1 formed by the sides, top and bottom walls and front walls and door so as to sufliciently heat the interior thereof and when the feet are placed within the door opening, the

same'may be readily warmed or the door may be closed and the device used as a heat ing{ oven, as described,

eferring to the slightly modified form in Figs. 5, 6 and 7, there is illu'stratedthe side walls 3 which have provided on their interior, longitudinally extending sockets 38, which are provided centrally of their ends with a rectangular opening 39 in which is positioned a nut- .at(), the rods 27' are then openings 41', which permit a key to be inserted for turning t e nuts on the rods 27 to adjust the rods to sup, ort the casing 1 to a radiator, as previousl described.

The removable connection of the plates between the walls 2 and I0 and 15 have theirQLlfi base portions at a spaced distance apart which permits .these plates to move laterall or sidewise in various directions to' fit various size tubps of the radiator, thus rendering the 'caslng self-adjustable so. that the same ma be secured to various sizeradiators having different diameters of tubes.

In operation, the casing 1 is positioned the blades are arranged to extend between thetubes,

is lifted and its knob 24' is engaged under 139 A and the rods are secured on the rear side of the tubes or the plate 33 may be used, the nuts are'then tight- 'side walls for rigidly supporting the device 15%: radiator, as and for the purpose speci- 2. A foot warmer comprisin a casin ineluding side walls, a top'wa l, and ront wall, a door hingedly secured to the front wall, a sectional wall, a plurality of spaced blades movably connected to the rear edge of the top and bottom walls, and means adjustably secured to the side walls for rigidly supporting the casing to a radiator,'as and for the urpose specified.

3. A device of the class described comprising acasing, having its rear side fully o t of this mm m be obtained a:

open, a door hingedly secured in the front wall of the casing, a plurality of spaced blades removably connected to the opened end of the casing and extending rearwardly beyond the same, said blades adapted to be positioned between the tubesof theradiator,

and means adjustably connected to the side walls of the casing, rigidly connecting the casin to a radiator, as and for the purpose specified.

4:. A device of the class described comprising a casin including side walls, a top wall, a front we 1, a sectional perforated bottom wall, a plurality of blades movably connected to the rear edges of the top and bottom walls, and extending rearwardly beyond the edges of the side walls, and means adj ustably connected to the side walls and bottom wall for rigidl supporting the device to a radia tor, as an for the purpose 5 ecified.
